Rain is Back

Gutters overflowing

Glad I moved the strawberry patch – the old area got a bit swamped today!

The new patch of strawberries got a decent drink from the sky all last night and pretty much all today.

See the rainbow?

A short break in the weather produced a rainbow… I went a bit closer and the chooks were disappointed I had the camera and was not carrying scraps

I felt bad, so I returned with a container of scraps for them

I am trying not to look too closely at my forlorn vegetable garden! What a neglected mess!  I console myself that within the next month or so it will be all cleaned up and new plants will be put in to start to do their thing

Still… the garden beside the house looks rather nice in the rain – I can’t wait until this area leafs-up and starts producing spring colours!

Pip was in a foul mood today. He wasn’t allowed into the bedroom to sleep with Jeff (who had just come off a night-shift) and was also Mr Mega Whingy Arse because Margie had come to visit and he wasn’t getting my undivided attention!

He FURTHER disgraced himself by hissing at Margie who was trying to be nice to him! (The only other person he tends to hiss at is my mother – charming, I know – but I think its the whole jealously thing)

SO – he got ‘spoken to’ and tossed into his sleeping bag where he remained for the rest of the day!!

My embarrassing cat…

Back to my fire and crochet!! The only thing to do on a cold rainy night

Cheers!
